What to Do When Your Sump Pump Stops Working?

If your sump pump stops working, follow these troubleshooting steps:

  • Check the Power Source: Ensure the sump pump is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses that may affect the power supply.
  • Float Switch: Clear any debris or obstructions that may hinder the movement of the float switch. Gently lift the float to test if the pump activates when water levels rise.
  • Check for Clogs: Inspect the intake and discharge pipes for blockages caused by debris or sediment. Clean them if necessary.
  • Test the Outlet: Verify if the pump is receiving power by plugging another device into the same outlet.
  • Check the GFCI Outlet: Some pumps are connected to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. Check if it has tripped and reset it if needed.
  • Inspect the Check Valve: Ensure the check valve is correctly installed and undamaged to prevent water from flowing back into the sump pit.
  • Test the Pump Manually: If available, use the manual override switch to check if the pump starts working.

If the sump pump still doesn't work after these steps, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of San Marcos. Sump pump failures can lead to basement water damage, so timely attention is crucial. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of San Marcos can diagnose and resolve the issue, ensuring your sump pump operates properly and protects your home from potential flooding.

What is the Most Common Reason for Sump Pump Failure?

The most common cause of sump pump failure is age. Older models are more susceptible to wear and tear, resulting in mechanical or electrical problems. However, even newer units can fail due to improper installation or lack of maintenance. If your sump pump shows signs of trouble, such as frequent running, it's best to seek professional assistance promptly to diagnose and address potential issues before they worsen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pump Repairs
